BOWLSWEAR, SCHOOLWEAR AND CORPORATE WEAR in East Yorkshire for Sale.

This long-established bowls and schoolwear business occupies a prominent position in a sought-after East Yorkshire village. It is widely recognised as a leading specialist supplier of bowls equipment, clothing, accessories, and bespoke clubwear, with an excellent reputation for quality and service. The business benefits from strong footfall, knowledgeable staff, a wide product range, and reliable delivery.

Over nearly four decades, the owner has developed a highly scalable model, with a major strength being its exclusive in-house designed bowls clothing, manufactured overseas. These bespoke garments feature club branding and tailored designs for UK and international bowls clubs, providing a strong competitive advantage. Products are supplied to both individual customers and overseas distributors, reflecting the company’s global reach.

The customer database includes approximately 3,500 to 4,000 clients, with around 80% of sales generated online. Orders are dispatched throughout the UK and worldwide, supported by efficient fulfilment and a strong catalogue of branded and generic bowlswear, ensuring repeat custom.

Recent accounts show turnover exceeding £620,000 net of VAT (EBITDA over £65,000), rising to almost £850,000 for the year ending December 2025. The business is managed by the owner with one full-time and two part-time staff and operates smoothly in their absence. The business is offered for sale due to the owner’s impending retirement. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, well-established enterprise with strong goodwill, global recognition, and significant scope for further growth. Early viewing is highly recommended.

The premises are held on an expired five-year lease, with the landlord willing to grant a new lease to a suitable purchaser. EPC Band C
